I always used vgaswitcheroo to turn off my discrete graphic, I did a script to turn off in boot, but now, vgaswitcheroo isn't working anymore, I don't know why... look
forbidden404@forbidden404-Inspiron-N5110:~$ ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
ls: cannot access /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: Permission denied
